According to the above list we finally have an ultimate netbook. So ultimate in fact we are not sure should we call it a netbook any more but for the sake of Intel Atom processor (even though it is dual core) let’s still put in the same category as other average netbooks. And who else would make such a “powerful” netbook if not the manufacturer that started the netbook craze with its Eee PC brand – Asus. Asus Eee PC 1215N is a 12.1 inch dream full-filing netbook so you must check the review. No, no, we insist and disregard the 3.5 star rating at the top of the review this netbook is “The One Netbook” (sorry Acer)

Yet another Asus netbok. Not quite as the Asus Eee PC 1015P netbook does feature an average Intel Pine Trail Atom netbook hardware but unlike other netbooks it comes in all-matt finish including the screen which makes it perfect for outdoors. If you are intrigued by this strictly no-gloss netbook as we are read the full story to find out how it performed in test.

Asus keeps releasing new Eee PC models so that it is very difficult to keep track of them. Anyway next one up is the Asus Eee PC 1001p 10.1 inch Intel Pine Trail Netbook. Sebastian Jentsch at NetbookCheck posted a review and thinksthe Asus Eee PC 1001p is the basic Asus Intel Pine Trail model with no bluetooth, only a 160 GB hard drive and Windows XP. But on the upside it delivers 11 hour battery life so it is a bargain road warrior.

A flood of Intel Pine Trail netbooks continues with Asus Asus Eee PC 1008P Seashell 10.1 inch Netbook. Felix Sold at NotebookCheck spend some time with it and posted an in-depth review. He thinks Asus Eee PC 1008P brings positive experience to the table with decreased power consumption that results in an increased battery life (up to 13.5 hours) compared to the Asus’s own Intel Pine Trail Eee PC 1005P. Other then battery life and exclusive design by Karim Rashid wich we at HandsOnReviews have never heard of (but we do have to admit it does look very classy) it is yet another 10.1 inch netbook featuring a 250 GB hard drive and 1 GB RAM.
